Universal raises Ticket Prices: 2018 Edition

[javierm27]

Gold pass is no longer showing up on Costco.com. Hopefully they are just renegotiating for another year with this pass.

Gold pass is back on Costco and up $40 to $239.99, parking is still included, and I believe an hour later to get in and park before 6pm. I believe it was 5pm before.

Yeah, later parking entry is correct, but it looks like they took away 7 days, before it was 337 days, now it's 330.

Seriously contemplating renewing my Gold pass soon (The parking is the main motivation for me to buy that tier). I do like how they have bumped the parking time from 5 to 6; it should be free all day like all of the other parks do, but whatevs, I'll take it.

The Platinum Pass is twice as much and I don't see any probable reason on paying that much. Yeah you get a free HHN ticket on a select night (Which is pointless because it's generally a FFP night), free entry to Eve, and FoL for everything, but is that really worth paying $300 more? The only way I would even consider it is if the pass gave you access to both Hollywood and Orlando and there was no time restriction on parking. If I'm paying 600 smackaroos, I better be able to keep my car in that structure! Even then the pass should be worth around 500. 600 is egregious.

They need to offer a bi-coastal pass like Disney does. Platinum sounds like a total joke to me.

I find excellent value out of platinum but I go twice a week. For me express is the best.
